My name is Merita Dukaj, and I am a third-year student of International Relations and Diplomacy at the University of Donja Gorica. I am very active in youth work and civil society. Currently, I serve as a Young European Ambassador and I am a member of the Youth Initiatives Council of the President of Montenegro. I am also the founder of the NGO DITA, where I focus on human rights, inclusion, and supporting youth communities in Montenegro. I have been involved in a range of initiatives with organizations such as UNICEF, where I worked as a young reporter, as well as with various youth networks. My work includes media, advocacy, and community projects. In addition, I have published a poetry book titled First Rays (“Rrezet e para”). I speak Albanian, Montenegrin, English, and Spanish. Through all of my work, I am passionate about empowering young people and creating positive change in my community.
